Amazon last night hosted Carols by Kindlelight, the first carol concert of its kind where the audience e-read carols at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios.
In attendance were Grammy, Academy and Brit Award-winning and Multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Annie Lennox; the nation’s favourite tenor Alfie Boe; queen of Rockabilly Imelda May; million-selling sporting soprano Laura Wright; 6 x Platinum-selling New Zealand opera trio Sol3 Mio and the No.1 selling classical vocal ensemble VOCES8.
Customers selected to attend the event received a Kindle Paperwhite to e-read carols during the concert and then take home after the event. Using the Paperwhite display, the 200 audience members illuminated Abbey Road Studios in a way never seen before. Kindle Paperwhite used by the artists have been donated to East London Arts & Music (ELAM).
Carols by Kindlelight will be made available exclusively for Amazon’s millions of Prime members through Prime Instant Video at 7.00pm on Friday, December 12.
